This package includes windows command-line utilities that Hadoop needs. You
might succeed in running Hadoop jobs if you install this and add it to your
path.
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm

But, nobody makes a bourne shell in this style, and so you have to set up
your own bin/mahout script. If your PC has 3-4 Gb of ram, you will be
better off running a Linux virtual machine.

Any of the command line examples that don't use mvn to run.

Most of the wiki examples, for example.

The only capabilities not affected involve code that you integrate yourself
or which use non-traditional means like mvn to run.  The mvn examples are,
in fact, an example of self integrated code.

Ted,

And those command line programs are necessary when running which features
of mahout?

Yes.  The exec:java target is a good way in.

But there are a large number of command line programs accessible via
bin/mahout that will probably not work for you without cygwin or equivalent.

Hi Ted and Ali,

I do not have cygwin. I installed the jdk, and set JAVA_HOME, then
downloaded maven and set  maven variables, then downloaded mahout and did *mvn
install -DskipTests=true* because tests sometimes give me problems. I got
BUILD SUCCESSFUL, so I got mahout ready to work.

 Then I tried the recommender example in Mahout in Action
http://www.manning.com/owen/ . Run *mvn install -DskipTests=true *again and
then executed the class I added with *mvn exec:java* and got a successful
build. I mean I got the recommendation result.

MovieLens became GroupLens. There is an example in online recommenders
for the GroupLens dataset. Look for GroupLensDataModel and other
classes.

The dataset itself is on the Collections page (since I just now added it):

Gustavo,

Did you have cygwin or some other unix command interpreter installed?

Hi Ali and Ted,

I have tried Mahout in Ubuntu and it works, also I could install Mahout in
Windows 7. I executed a basic recommender example using the Windows cmd. It
worked for that case.

Mahout is not normally tested on Windows.  Most of the code is likely to
work because it is in java, but the scripts that invoke the command line
program all require standard shell scripting capabilities not natively
available on Windows.  You might get by with cygwin, or you might not.

If you want to do the work to make it work on Windows, that would be a
great contribution.
